This person does not seem to be notable, or at least the sources are not there which establish that he is. I checked out Google Books and he does get a few mentions, but mainly in books on the history of his church. (Most often for his role as in leading a college in China, which is not even mentioned in the article.) I was not able to find any substantial coverage in secondary sources which is required by WP standards to establish notability. Of course it may well be out there in books, but until that is provided I don't think there is a basis for an article. BigJim707 (talk) 16:05, 28 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep Probably meets #6 of WP:ACADEMIC as president of Southern Adventist University. However, this isn't sourced in the article.   78.26  (talk) 16:22, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:ACADEMIC #6. StAnselm (talk) 20:22, 28 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep. I think on WP:ACADEMIC it is a delete, but clearly he is one of the more prominent apologists (always hated that word...) for Seventh Day Adventists, and on that basis is sufficiently notable. We don't have a WP:PRIEST, but if we did, I think this article scrapes by. --Legis (talk - contribs) 00:43, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. As Dean of the Seminary an important person in the SDA church organization.  Far more notable than high school and college sports stars found elsewhere on WP.  Johnjonesjr (talk) 02:25, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep as president of an academic institution, albeit, only a smallish one in his time. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:09, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
